The problem I have with LAQ is not the amount of quilting but the thinness. As a hand quilter for years I always used extra, extra loft batting. I love my quilts to be puffy. I just got 2 back from the LAQ and they are so thin that they are more like a bedspread than a quilt. Actually they are like sewing 2 layers of fabric together. The quilting is beautiful but they are sooo thin.
